Jedan Tasa Hoet Naca Leviathan
Leviathan, the Great Serpent, is the Water Elemental in Dukante’s Hierarchy. They can help to calm erratic emotions, explore Shadow Work, and trauma. They come with a deeply nurturing energy to help magicians begin to process the emotional discord that they are feeling. Usually, Leviathan is depicted as androgynous and can appear before the magician either femininely or masculinely.

ABADDON(APOLLYON)
Enn:Es na ayer Abaddon avage
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other names:Appolyon, Apollyon, Appolion, Abbadan, Abbaton, Abadon
Originally, Abaddon was a place and not an angel or being. In rabbinic writings and the Old Testament, Abaddon is primarily a place of destruction and a name for one of the regions of Gehenna (see Hell). The term occurs six times in the Old Testament. In Proverbs 15:11 and 27:20, it is named with Sheol as a region of the underworld. In Psalm 88:11, Abaddon is associated with the grave and the underworld.
Abaddon (Apollyon) is the angel of death, destruction, and the netherworld. The name Abaddon is derived from the Hebrew term for “to destroy” and means “place of destruction.” Apollyon is the Greek name.
In magic Abaddon is often equated with Satan and Samael. His name is evoked in conjuring spells for malicious deeds. Abaddon is the prince who rules the seventh hierarchy of demons, the Erinyes, or Furies, who govern powers of, discord, war, and devastation.
In Job 26:6, Abaddon is associated with Sheol. Later, Job 28:22 names Abaddon and Death together, implying personified beings. In Revelation 9:10, Abaddon is personified as the king of the abyss, the bottomless pit of hell. Revelation also cites the Greek version of the name, Apollyon, probably a reference to Apollo, Greek god of pestilence and destruction.
Abaddon destroys false illusions and masks, however once the truth is revealed the foundation of truth is planted. He transforms the energy and core power can rise from the depth of our soul. Abaddon reveals the practitioners core power just as he crushes and destroys. The practitioners courage comes out a destroys the illusions. He is a powerful guide and imitates the journey through the depth of darkness. The journey of the abyss is one of countless trials and lessons. Abaddon is one is an incredible teacher and Advisor and reveals the truth of the dark depth within.
Call upon Abaddon for
⬩Courage
⬩Destroy false illusions
⬩Destroy masks
⬩Transformation
⬩Truth within even ones we don't wish to hear
⬩Ask him what else he will work with you on⬩
⊱•━━━━━━⊰In Ritual⊱━━━━━•⊰
Enn:Es na ayer Abaddon avage
Sigil:Posted above
Plant:Chamomile, Calendula, Aloe, Elder, Tillandsia Xerographica, African Blackwood, Walnut, Eucalyptus
Incense:Black Copal, Benzoin, Dragons Blood, Labdanum, Opoponax
⬩Red, black, purple, metallic grey, silver candles or objects
⬩Ask Abaddon what he likes⬩
⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.
Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.
Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.
Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.
Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩

William Baxter Closson, Butterflies, 1885
Thank you, Verrain, for showing me how to open my heart, to write a love poem to myself, and the importance of inner healing. You agitated and ruffled my feathers. Stirring up the dirt that covered them. You came to me as a green prairie and a moth. A quiet, soft spoken voice that conversed with empathy and warmth. Your visions to me backdropped by darkness - my home. My soul thrives in being tameless. My heart thrives in defiance. It is both sweet and the nectar that fuels my existence. Duchess Verrain - the Air formed from my Water and Fire. A cooling vapor that is the result of my inner conflict coming to a head. My cocoon worked against me. You have now taught me how to merge and accept these two conflicting energies in a healthy and sustainable way. I can now begin to break free 🦋

Can you please tell us about the Dukante hierarchy demons ? Are they all members of the Ars Goetia ? Do the sigils Conolly made for them work ? Any you would recommend to work with ?
I am sorry but all the placements are in the wrong places. Although the named demons exist (most of them at least...), I cannot verify such placements in these families as my own experience varies considerably.

I aspire to a much more dense and organized practice. I have so many deities to honor that I need to organize my week well!
The meditations with the spirits of Dukante take me where I want to be, I did 3, and with the last one for Rosier, Daimon of Love, I was treated to a candle flame which perpetually split into two. Yes, the wick was undoubtedly of strange quality, but what joy when, at the end of the half hour of meditation, I was treated to this pretty little heart.
By the gods I love my practice!

Using Latin Chants To Summon Daemons: A Daemonolatry Info Post
Tumblr media
This is something I've been wanting to make a post about for a while, but I completely forgot to write about it lol. It's been sitting in my drafts for forever now, thanks to my clusterfuck of an AuDHD brain. 🤪 I FINALLY got it finished though, so here it is!
Tumblr media
Okay so I've been summoning daemons using Latin for quite a while now, and I thought I'd write about it because I figured other practitioners might like to try this out too!
Full post under the cut. ↓
Tumblr media
~ What's The Deal With Latin?
Daemons have long been stereotypically associated with the Latin language. But why is this? Well, I speculate that it's partially because of the fact that many historical books on demonology and witchcraft were written in Latin (e.g. grimoires such as the Ars Goetia and Liber Officiorum Spirituum).
However, the link between daemons and Latin goes back further than this. It's most likely and primarily due to the fact that the Roman Catholic Church retained Latin as its liturgical language. Many of their scripture and rites (including the ones regarding exorcisms of mainly "demonic spirits") remained written in Latin. And so, daemons starting being conflated with the Latin language as a whole.
Tumblr media
~ Why Summon Daemons In Latin?
Nowadays, Latin is a rather obsolete language and isn't largely spoken in most parts of the world anymore. As a result, some people may find that it adds an extra layer of mysticism between the practitioner and their magical workings. Given how ancient the language is (as well as its associations with daemons and The Devil in the modern day), this can give it more subconscious power when used in your craft.
I've personally found it helpful to evoke/invoke daemons in Latin, and I find that it helps me connect with them better.
Tumblr media
~ Why Not Just Use Enns?
Personally, I don't like to use the well-known enns to conjure daemons. From what I know, the demonic enns seem to originate from the works of S. Connolly, and I'm not a huge fan of her books in general... Personally I feel that a lot of the information in her books is poorly researched, and that the Dukante stuff and demonic enns are likely fabricated, and I find that she's just a highly problematic and culturally-appropriative person in general, which tends to show within her books (in my personal opinion; don't sue me ffs). So I try to stay away from her stuff, as I'm paranoid that it might potentially negatively effect my craft.
This is one of the reasons why I actually came up with Latin chants to conjure daemons in the first place; I like the idea of demonic enns, but I personally just don't want to associate with any of Connolly's stuff whatsoever. But that's just me though. If you like using the enns and it works for you, that's okay! It's just not personally my thing.
Tumblr media
~ How To Summon Daemons Using Latin
I came up with a specific type of Latin chant that can be used to summon daemons; It's called a vocatum.
The word "vocatum" literally means "called", "invoked", or "having been summoned" in Latin. A vocatum can be iterated as a chant in order to invite or request the daemon's presence, as well as to help you get into a meditative state so you can communicate with the daemon better. You could also just say the vocatum once, if that personally suffices for you.
Here are some daemonic vocatums I have personally come up with and used in my own practice:
~ Simplified Vocatum ~
✧ Vocatum: "Ave [Daemon's Name], vos invoco/evoco." ✧ Translation: "Hail [Daemon's Name], I invoke/evoke you."
✰ Example: "Ave Satanas, vos invoco."
~ Complex Vocatum ~
✧ Vocatum: "Salve, [Daemon's Name]. Magnus [Rank], reverenter vos invoco/evoco." ✧ Translation: "Greetings, [Daemon's Name]. Great [Rank], I reverently invoke/evoke you."
✰ Example: "Salve, Glasya-Labolas. Magnus Comes, reverenter vos evoco."
🌟 Note: Use "invoco" for invocations and "evoco" for evocations.
Here is a short list of the Latin translations for the daemons' ranks (mostly from the Ars Goetia):
King/Queen - Rex/Regina
Duke/Duchess - Dux/Ducissa
Prince/Princess - Princeps/Principissa
Marquis/Marchioness - Marchio/Marchionissa
Earl/Count/Countess - Comes/Comitessa
President - Praeses
Knight/Sir/Dame - Miles/Dominus/Domina
Tumblr media
~ Difference Between Invoking And Evoking
Many people may consider evocation and invocation to be the same thing, but personally I differentiate the two. Here is my personal gnosis on the differences between them:
☆ Evocation is when you call upon a deity or spirit and ask them to preside during rituals or magical workings; You're basically asking them to come and hang out with you in your space.
☆ Invocation is more so a form of voluntary possession. You're inviting them into yourself, and they are (partially) merging their being with your own; They are manifesting within you, instead of manifesting alongside you.
If you're a beginner practitioner, I would personally hold off on invoking daemons before getting to know them better through evocation first; But that's just me. Some daemons' energies can be very intense and quite overwhelming, especially if you haven't met the daemon before.
E.g. Upon making first contact with Quing Paimon, I invoked them instead of evoking them, and their energies were quite heavy and overwhelming when they partially merged their soul with mine; I ended up feeling a little dizzy, became mentally exhausted rather quickly, and also got a mild headache (but maybe the headache was just from the incense I was burning LOL). I've had similar experiences with Count Glasya-Labolas too.
But once you get to know a daemon and adjust to their energies overtime, you should be fine. Please don't let my personal experiences discourage you from pursuing a relationship with the daemons you feel most drawn to!
Tumblr media
Welp, that's pretty much all I had to write about regarding this topic. I hope you found this post helpful! And, as always... May you be blessed by whoever it is that you venerate, and I wish you all the best on your spiritual path. <3

My guide to calling up a demon
Disclaimer! This is my own gnosis and system for calling on a demon, I am mostly referring to geotic/Dukante spirits.
Any offering (ex: fruits, wine, alcohol, cake, blood)
Things you’ll need
Candles (preferably one the spirit likes)
Incense that is corresponded with the spirit
Their sigil
A scrying mirror (optional)
Any method of your choosing to get into a trance state or a meditative state.
Any form of divination you’d like (optional)
To begin, cleanse your space and try to do the invocation on the day associated with the spirit (ex: Lucifer is associated with Venus, so fridays will work) place the scrying mirror if you want to use one on the back of the table, place incense in whatever placement you’d like. Light the candle in front of the mirror. Place the sigil displayed behind the candle or draw it on the mirror with a visible paint marker. Now place the offerings before the sigil, and begin chanting their enn for as much time you’d like. While chanting their enn, stare into the sigil. Once you’ve looked enough you should see color shift and move around the sigil. Now try to get to in a deep meditative state while still chanting and staring at the sigil. Now, you can communicate with them in a trance state or you can use the opening sigil and chanting process as a way to call on them. This is when you can use your preferred way of divination to talk to them. Once you feel your session should be done, respectfully say bye to them and dismiss the session. Leave the offerings for a feel days until you feel like you should dispose them.
Have fun!

About those demonkin questions you reblogged a while ago:
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 17, and 20!
I'm curious to see your answers! (And sorry for doing so many questions at once)
4. What do you think of humans and humanity, as a demonkin?
I love humans, I love humanity as a whole. I think some Very Bad apples have made things bad for them(and for me by virtue of living in a human body), but that’s not most of their fault. I see them as little guys, potential pets, and overall mostly just like one would consider less powerful but very cute creatures.
5. If you’re POC, trans, disabled, chronically ill, etc how does that affect your demonkin identity if at all? Are there certain things you don’t identify with?
I believe it’s more the other way around, I believe my pangender identity is connected to being a demon because I’m mostly above human binaries.
6. Does your demonkin have a separate name to yourself? How old is your “demonkin-sona”?
No, the way I see it, I am my “human self” but I was born with the soul of a demon. So I am Me, I just Happen to be a demon, if that makes sense.
8. What TV show, book, or movie has the best portrayal of demons and hell in your opinion?
Ummmm, goodness that’s so difficult. Media doesn’t usually set out to make a “realistic” hell, it’s usually so stylized because it’s a fictional place that is so vague in the source material. I think that the best portrayal that comes to mind is Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel.
9. Who is your favorite written demon (from ars Goetia, dukante hierarchy, etc)?
I’m a big fan of the boss Luci but I can’t have that be my answer. Paimon maybe? Love a suck up<3
10. Tell us about your favorite fictional demon from a tv show/movie/book.
Gotta be Crowley
12. Recommend us two movies!
I do not usually watch movies. What We Do in the Shadows and A Silent Voice
16. If you were to be evoked during a ritual, what objects would we need?
I don’t know much about human rituals so I hope this is good. A dildo, a two liter of orange Fanta, and a willingness to give up your soul.
17. Recommend us five to ten songs that make you feel infernal and demonic!
I LOVE music recommendation questions, please listen to these and tell me what you think think and ask more questions about music and ask for recommendations and(frothing at the mouth)
In no particular order except the order that I came across them on Spotify looking just now:
Ængus, the Prize-Winning Hog by The Toxhards
Blood Moon Love by Shayfer James
Until It Doesn’t Hurt by Mother Mother
How I’d Kill by Cowboy Malfoy
The Otherside by Kade McCuen
Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball by Diablo Swing Orchestra
Sirens by Bear Ghost
Whisper by Burn the Ballroom
Don’t Mess With Me by temposhark
Do It For me by Rosenfeld
20. Misconceptions about Demonkin that drive you insane?
I’m not really in this space very much/for very long so I haven’t come across anything like that, will update if that changes

He appeareth in the Form of Two Beatufiul Angels sitting in a Chariot of Fire. he speaketh with a Comely Voice, and declareth that he fell first from among the worthier sort, that were before Michael, and other Heavenly Angels.

But then he tarrieth not one hour in the Truth, unless he be constrained by Divine Power." -Ars Goetia
In the Dukante Hierarchy, Belial is seen as the Earth Elemental Demon, both as Destructive (fiery) Earth, and also a creative manifesting force that can bring wealth and abundance. He is celebrated at the Winter Solstice.

The Sixty-eighth Spirit is King Belial. He appears in the form of two beautiful angels sitting in a chariot of fire. He speaks with a comely voice, and declares that he fell first from among the worthier sort, that were before michael, and other heavenly angels. In the Dukante Hierarchy, Belial is seen as the representative force of earth. In this aspect, he is the destructive earth force. Evoking this aspect is good for execration and necromancy, and business endeavors that require aggressive measures. He distributes presentations and senatorships, etc.; and to cause favour of friends and of foes. He gives excellent familiars, and note well that this King Belial must have offerings, sacrifices and gifts presented unto him by the practitioner, or else he will not give true answers. He governs 50 Legions of Spirits.
Call upon King Belial for
⬩Baneful work
⬩Buisness endeavors
⬩Familiars
⬩Favor among friends and enemies
⬩Necromancy
⬩Political promotions
⬩Ask him what else he will work with you on⬩

Enn:Lirach tasa vefa wehlc Belial
Sigil:Posted above
Plant:Mullein
Incense:Frankincense, Myrrh
⬩Yellow candles or objects
⬩Ask King Belial what he likes⬩
⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.
Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.
Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.
Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.
Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩

It's almost the 31st of October, which means it's almost time for the annual rite to Baalberith & Eurynomous*! Like other holidays, rites, etc. that celebrate & recognize the transitions from October into November, from abundance and activity into rest and quiet, and simply from life into death, its two key figures are often associated with similar themes. Some relevant blurbs about Baalberith & Eurynomous:
Baalberith (with considerations that Baalberith & Ba'al Berith are the same demon)
as the infernal secretary and record keeper he records history as it happens, cataloging the previous year's harvest and accomplishments
known to some as the demon of alchemists, signifying and influencing change, transformation and evolution, as well as death via all those things
Eurynomous
seen by some as the "true god of death" in the Greek underworld
Eurynomous eats corpses and carrion, symbolizing both the removal of the old, and the way in which the old (literally) nourishes the new
After this rite of endings (and after the second rite to Lucifer in December), the rite of new beginnings, to Belial, is on December 21st.
*some traditions also call on Babael during this rite, but we know little of him bc the name is exclusively (as far as the public knows) from the Dukante archives

Hello and Welcome. This blog is intended as record and musings of my spiritual path, devotion and practices with the demonic divine and other beings. Alongside a log of witchcraft and occult ritual. I am a priestess of the demonic divine and a certain aspect of the divine masculine energies. My patron is Lord Abaddon. I am also espoused to two Dark Lords (Lord S and Lord O) who I may mention about somewhat on here as well. I am restricted upon what I am able to share however. I am also quite close to Lord Lucifer and I mainly work with Dark Lords and Ladies listed in the Dukante hierarchy, though I do work with some goetic listed and grimoire verum listed Demonic divine as well. I also connect with unknown/recorded demonic divine beings too.
My background is in paganism- I was previously a devotee of Setekh and Kali ma ( this blog was originally heretiquesmusings) for many years before I found my home with the demonic divine, whom I have been connected to and working with for the past 7 years. My practice is demonolatry based, though I am not as restricted. I go where the demonic divine, spirits, gods and my soul guides me. I am female and I identify as non-human (other then human-souled). My past studies and practices included Kemeticism, Kaula Tantra and some Hinduism related to Kali ma, Taoism, Chaos magic, east asian and northern tradition shamanic practices, hedge and traditional witchcraft.
I also work with the qliphoth, eldritch beings, other gods, spirits and journey to the otherworlds regularly.
Other then my spiritual path- I am an artist, dancer, martial artist and have studied traditional Chinese medicine and herbalism among other things.
I am somewhat open to inquiries and questions and I will answer and guide where I can. I am restricted by the demonic divine and my Husbands on what I may share an discuss.
Disclaimer: We each are each individuals, have different energy structures/vibrations and each walk different paths and I don’t expect you to have the same views nor experiences as I do. Nor necessarily agree with my practices. This is my path, workings and gnosis from my personal experiences and what the demonic divine, gods and otherworldy beings I work with- have shared and taught me. It does not automatically apply to others. Though if what I share of the demonic divine helps others, then great.
Courtesy notice: I don't really care to list DNI as I'm not bothered by much, however if you disrespect the demonic divine, practice/advocate/believe in solomonic binding and other such practices- then this is not the blog for you and I suggest you move along.
Anyone who speaks/advocates about it being cultural appropriation to work with any of the demonic divine - including Lilith- or that Qliphotic work is cultural appropriation- will be blocked immediately. I have no tolerance for such nonsense. Also if you attempt to harass or abuse me it should go without saying you will be blocked. and I do use the block button liberally.
If you wish to discuss things in this space, then respecting the demonic divine, My Husbands, and myself( it is my blog after all) is required. This blog is more directed at adults then minors, will discuss dark topics and adult content. This blog is for more advanced/intermediate practices, then beginner work. I also tend to write essays, if that is not to your liking then this may not be the space for you.
Important posts:
Other then all of this welcome to my blog!

Demonology: Deeper Explanation, How To Incorporate, and Common Misconceptions
Table of Contents
I.Deeper Explanation
II.How To Incorporate
III.Common Misconceptions
Deeper Explanation
Once more, if you haven’t read my initial post on the differences that you can find HERE, I recommend checking it out before we dive deeper in.
So Demonology we already know is the study of demons. A Demonologist, someone who studies demons, magic, and rituals regarding them. Now we can break this down a bit further because demonology isn’t limited to specific study. Many different religions or belief systems have “demons” “daemons” “daimons” or so on. Some may not even refer to these spirits as a demon, but they fill the same “role” as demons would in many faiths.
Some demonologist stick to a specific hierarchy (typically a set a demonic beings in a specific ranking order. The Ars Goetia, and Dukante are major examples of demonic hierarchies) while others many bounce around different concepts, hierarchies, history, and so on. There’s a good bit to study, and so much to look into! Even if you don’t plan to work religiously with demons this can be a wonderful step to learn about them, and there’s something for everyone.
How To Incorporate
This depends on why you want to incorporate it! And the path you walk. You could look into the demonization of pre-Abrahamic religions, where some of the demons commonly known are being linked to gods of other religions to demonize them and make them “bad.”
You could just like to learn a bit of everything, and study to check it out! Maybe you don’t quite know how you feel on Demon work just yet and want to start light to ease in. To incorporate this in your path you just need a love for research and an interest in demons. With those, you’re pretty set. And since there’s no religious ties really all that limits you is your will power to read (cause there is a LOT of reading for you here!)
Common Misconceptions
I see a lot of misconceptions when it comes to Demonology-but they’re not demonology. Which yeah that’s how misconceptions work, we know that-but most people don’t realize there’s a large difference in types of demon work and kinda only see one-worship. Usually people don’t even know it’s name and just label “demon worship!” On anything that is remotely scary or different. Which happens, and that’s okay. Most misconceptions about demonology come from this group. There’s not many you’ll see within pagan spaces which is kind of nice. There is the common idea that since people don’t know the differences they usually don’t actually know which way they wish to go about-but that kinda falls into what I’ve said before. People don’t know the differences and see Demonolatry as everything. Sometimes even in the scene.
But for the most part Demonologist are labeled as Demon worshippers because it’s Demon related. I haven’t found a lot regarding Demonologist as a stand-alone but there was a good bit for Demonolatry. (Wink wink, hint hint)
